SynoCommunity is now on Discord!
DSM 7 was released on June 29 2021 as Version 7.0.41890.
- You find the status of the packages in the issue #4524 Meta: DSM7 package status
- Despite you see packages of SynoCommunity in the Package Center of your Diskstation with DSM 7, some of the packages are not compatible with DSM 7.
- PLEASE do not create issues saying that package
xy
cannot be installed on DSM 7. All packages not yet ported to DSM 7 will refuse the installation with a message about "package requires root privileges" (or "invalid file format", ...). - Please regard all DSM 7 packages as beta versions (the synocommunity package repository is not capable to declare packages as beta only for DSM 7).
- ATTENTION: As reported, package configuration settings may be lost following the upgrade to DSM 7 and the execution of a Package repair. Make sure to backup your settings and configuration for your SynoCommunity packages before installation of DSM 7 to facilitate restoration if needed.
- Packages of the following kind will need some time to make DSM 7 compatible
- Packages depending MySQL database must be migrated to MariaDB 10
- Packages with installation Wizard to configure a shared folder (all download related packages and others)
- Packages that integrate into DSM webstation
- As this is a community project where people spend there spare time for contribution, it may take a long time until most of the packages are ported to DSM 7. (There are still packages here that are not ported from DSM 5 to DSM 6 yet).
spksrc is a cross compilation framework intended to compile and package software for Synology NAS devices. Packages are made available via the SynoCommunity repository.
Before opening a new issue, check the FAQ and search open issues. If you can't find an answer, or if you want to open a package request, read CONTRIBUTING to make sure you include all the information needed for contributors to handle your request.
The Docker development environment supports Linux and macOS systems, but not Windows due to limitations of the underlying file system.
- Fork and clone spksrc:
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/spksrc
- Install Docker on your host OS (see Docker installation, or use a
wget
-based alternative for linux Install Docker with wget). - Download the spksrc Docker container:
docker pull ghcr.io/synocommunity/spksrc
- Run the container with the repository mounted into the
/spksrc
directory with the appropriate command for your host Operating System:
cd spksrc # Go to the cloned repository's root folder.
# If running on Linux:
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/spksrc ghcr.io/synocommunity/spksrc /bin/bash
# If running on macOS:
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/spksrc -e TAR_CMD="fakeroot tar" ghcr.io/synocommunity/spksrc /bin/bash
- From there, follow the instructions in the Developers HOW TO.
A container based on 64-bit version of Debian 10 stable OS is recommended. Non-x86 architectures are not supported. The following assumes your lxd
environment is already initiated (e.g. lxc init
) and you have minimal LXD/LXC knowledge :
- Create a new container (will use x864_64/amd64 arch by default):
lxc launch images:debian/10 spksrc
- Enable i386 arch:
lxc exec spksrc -- /usr/bin/dpkg --add-architecture i386
- Update apt channels:
lxc exec spksrc -- /usr/bin/apt update
- Install all required packages:
lxc exec spksrc -- /usr/bin/apt install autogen autoconf-archive automake bc bison build-essential check \
cmake curl cython debootstrap ed expect flex g++-multilib gawk gettext git gperf \
imagemagick intltool jq libbz2-dev libc6-i386 libcppunit-dev libffi-dev libgc-dev \
libgmp3-dev libltdl-dev libmount-dev libncurses-dev libpcre3-dev libssl-dev \
libtool libunistring-dev lzip mercurial moreutils ncurses-dev ninja-build php \
pkg-config python3 python3-distutils rename scons subversion swig texinfo unzip \
xmlto zlib1g-dev
- Install
python2
wheels:
lxc exec spksrc -- /bin/bash -c "wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -O - | python2"
lxc exec spksrc -- /bin/bash -c "pip2 install virtualenv httpie"
- Install
python3
wheels:
lxc exec spksrc -- /bin/bash -c "wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -O - | python3"
lxc exec spksrc -- /bin/bash -c "pip3 install virtualenv httpie"
- Install
meson
(requiresautoconf-archive
):lxc exec spksrc -- /bin/bash -c "pip3 install meson==0.56.0"
- (OPTIONAL) Install misc base tools:
lxc exec spksrc -- /usr/bin/apt install bash-completion man-db manpages-dev mlocate ripgrep rsync tree time
lxc exec spksrc -- /usr/bin/updatedb
You can create a shared user between your Ubuntu and the LXC Debian container which simplifies greatly file management between the two. The following assumes you already create a user spksrc
with uid 1001 in your Ubuntu environment and that you which to share its /home
userspace.
- Create the
spksrc
user:lxc exec spksrc -- /usr/sbin/adduser --uid 1001 spksrc
- Create a mapping rule between the hosts and the LXC image:
lxc config set spksrc raw.idmap "both 1001 1001"
lxc restart spksrc
Remapping container filesystem
- Add
/home/spksrc
from the hsot to the LXC container:
lxc config device add spksrc home disk path=/home/spksrc source=/home/spksrc
Device home added to spksrc
- Connect as
spksrc
user:
lxc exec spksrc -- su --login spksrc
spksrc@spksrc:~$
- Set a defualt shell environment:
lxc exec spksrc -- su --login spksrc
spksrc@spksrc:~$ cp /etc/skel/.profile /etc/skel/.bashrc .
The following assume you have a running proxy on your LAN setup at IP 192.168.1.1 listening on port 3128 that will allow caching files.
- Enforce using a proxy:
lxc config set spksrc environment.http_proxy http://192.168.1.1:3128
lxc config set spksrc environment.https_proxy http://192.168.1.1:3128
- Enforce using a proxy with
wget
in the spksrc container user account:
lxc exec spksrc -- su --login spksrc
spksrc@spksrc:~$ cat << EOF > $HOME/.wgetrc
use_proxy = on
http_proxy = http://192.168.1.1:3128/
https_proxy = http://192.168.1.1:3128/
ftp_proxy = http://192.168.1.1:3128/

A virtual machine based on an 64-bit version of Debian 10 stable OS is recommended. Non-x86 architectures are not supported.
- Install the requirements (in sync with Dockerfile):
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt update
sudo apt install autoconf-archive autogen automake bc bison build-essential check cmake curl cython debootstrap ed expect fakeroot flex g++-multilib gawk gettext git gperf imagemagick intltool jq libbz2-dev libc6-i386 libcppunit-dev libffi-dev libgc-dev libgmp3-dev libltdl-dev libmount-dev libncurses-dev libpcre3-dev libssl-dev libtool libunistring-dev lzip mercurial moreutils ncurses-dev ninja-build php pkg-config python3 python3-distutils rename scons subversion sudo swig texinfo unzip xmlto zlib1g-dev
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py -O - | sudo python2
sudo pip2 install wheel httpie
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -O - | sudo python3
sudo pip3 install meson==0.56.0
- You may need to install some packages from testing like autoconf. Read about Apt-Pinning to know how to do that.
- Some older toolchains may require 32-bit development versions of packages, e.g.
zlib1g-dev:i386
Once you have a development environment set up, you can start building packages, create new ones, or improve upon existing packages while making your changes available to other people. See the Developers HOW TO for information on how to use spksrc.
